Six Mega Man Games On 3DS VC In May; Vote Which Comes First

A grand total of six Mega Man games are finally due to hit the Nintendo
3DS Virtual Console in North America. The four remaining classic Game
Boy Mega Man titles and Mega Man Xtreme 1&2 are being prepared to
release in May, and both Capcom Unity and Nintendo want you to decide
which launches first.

Vote in the poll at this Capcom Unity post by April 14th, 10am PT to voice your choice. The game
with the most votes will hit the Virtual Console on May 1st. After that,
the remaining games will be released each Thursday in May. Fittingly, they're dubbing this event as "Mega May."

The results of the poll are hidden now but just an hour or so ago, Mega Man V was rocking the vote. It's certainly one of (if not the) best among the lot... but will it come out on top?

Anyway, wouldn't it make the most sense to just release them chronologically? It'd be less messy and confusing, too. And coincidentally, my favorite Game Boy Mega Man game would be the first to be released this way. :>

When I last saw it, it was 30% for Xtreme, 27% for V. I suppose it might have changed after that though. One thing I noticed that's probably not a coincidence is that the picture for that post was of Xtreme and Megaman V. They probably predicted that those would be the most voted for.
